Long-Throw , Mid-High 40° x 20°

Sound Reinforcement System

General Description:

The Electro-Voice® Xi-2122MHA/42F loudspeaker system
was designed for optimal performance in both concert-sound
and permanent-installation applications where studio­monitor sound quality is required at concert-sound levels.
The high acoustic output from these compact, lightweight
systems provide the highest acoustic-power-to-weight ratio,
the highest acoustic-power-to-frontal-area ratio, and the
highest acoustic-power-to-size ratio in the industry . This means
that Xi-A Series systems will be considerably smaller and
lighter compared to competitive systems having equivalent
acoustic output. The 40° H x 20° V co v erage pattern of the Xi­2122MHA/42F makes it ideal for sound-reinforcement
applications with long-throw requirements. With its response
from 125-20,000 Hz, is recommended for mid-bass-/high­frequency applications and should be used with an Xi-A
Series bass box (like the Xi-1191A or Xi-2181A) for full-r ange
applications. The Xi-2122MHA/42F may be used individually
or in multiples to construct arrays. In addition, the Xi-2122MHA/
42F may be used with the MB/HF or LF/MB/HF Xi-A Series
loudspeaker systems to construct large full-range arrays. The
Xi-2122MHA/42F enclosure shell and rigging are identical to
the other full-size Xi-A Series systems for easy array
integration. The 40° H x 20° V coverage pattern offers precise
pattern control, and would be well suited for front-of-house,
front-fill, side-fill and delay applications. The Xi-2122MHA/
42F is a two-way active system that requires an active
electronic crossover. Both the Electro-Voice Dx38 and Klark
T eknik DN9848 digital crossov ers are recommended for signal
control. The Electro-Voice P3000 amplifier is recommended
for powering the Xi-2122MHA/42F.

hardware by an authorized rigging professional and in compliance with local, state, and federal overhead suspension ordinances.

Architectural & Engineering Specs:

The loudspeaker system shall be a two-way bi-amp system. The system shall have dual 12-inch, fully horn-loaded mid-bass
drivers with 2.5-inch voice coils and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. The mid-bass drivers shall have a power-handling capacity of
600 watts for 8 hours (as per ANSI/EIA RS-426 A & AES 2-1984). The high-frequency section shall be coaxially mounted in the mid­bass horn and shall employ dual compression drivers capable of handling 300 watts, 1,760- to 20,000-Hz when pink noise of a 6­dB crest factor is applied for 2 hours (as per AES 2-1984 and ANSI S4.26-1984 standards). The loudspeaker shall be constructed of
18-mm, 13-ply birch and shall be trapezoidal in shape. The wedge angle shall be 18-degrees. The grille shall be constructed from
16 GA powder-coated steel backed by acoustically transparent fabric. The system shall be capable of very-high level operation with
a band width of 125 to 20,000 Hz. The system dimensions shall be 586 mm (23.07 inches) wide by 914 mm (36.00 inches) high by
759 mm (29.88 inches) deep. The system shall employ flying hardware of a “track” style and two tracks on the enclosure top and
two tracks on the enclosure bottom. Net weight shall be 86.3 kg (190 lbs).

The loudspeaker shall be the Electro-Voice® Xi-2122MHA/42F.
